I would do :

// Rename the HISI_HIP08_CORE_COMMIT_CLEAR to HISI_HIP08_CORE_COMMIT_MASK
// above.
#define HISI_HIP08_CORE_COMMIT_MASK		0x3000

#define HISI_HIP08_CORE_COMMIT_FULL		0b00
#define HISI_HIP08_CORE_COMMIT_LVL_1		0b01


u8 commit = enable ? HISI_HIP08_CORE_COMMIT_LVL_1 : HISI_HIP08_CORE_COMMIT_FULL;

...

val |= commit << HISI_HIP08_CORE_COMMIT_SHIFT;

..
